Yeah the contrapoints video where she talks about when she used to be in places like that makes that pretty clear to me. Most trans spaces online have rules about aggressive self hating and especially against encouraging/reinforcing reasons of others in their self hating. 4chan does not, it is a place to wallow in “cleansing” self hatred.
it kinda feels nice to be called a slur tbh. Live in fear of it IRL but to see people just losing their shit and them not being able to do anything about other than scream it is really nice.
Granted, im talking about toxic vrchat lobbies and not 4chan but I imagine it kinda carries over.
edit: perfect example here, it’s SO FUCKING FUNNY to see the rage in this guy’s head over absolutely nothing
though i doubt this is serious but there are people who actually act like this. I got called a foid yesterday which means I pass enough even the incels can’t tell the difference 😘
I have no idea what that screenshot is even saying. Which reminds me of the first time someone British called me a “wanker” and expected it to hurt me, but I just laughed. A word with no meaning to the listener holds no power over them.
I trust you’re interpreting those comments correctly, but if they’re raging I’m sure not picking up on it. 😅
Its a type of self harm in my opinion. So the same reasons for other types would apply.
I quit browsing 4chan in 2008 or so because I realized it was a form of self harm.
Transitioned 4 years later.

I also think that it’s about getting attention, adjacent to what you’re saying, even it’s shitty. They’re definitely not invisible in that space.
